About

Constantin Zwick is a pioneer in wearable sports technology, with a primary focus on intelligent textile-based sensing systems for athletic performance analysis. His most influential work, the "Smart soccer shoe" (2016, 53 citations), introduced a groundbreaking approach to capturing foot-ball interactions through textile pressure sensing matrices. This system, featuring two 3×4 and one 3×3 matrix sampled at over 500Hz with low-power electronics, enables real-time, high-resolution analysis of soccer techniques. Zwick's major contribution lies in seamlessly integrating flexible, unobtrusive sensors into sportswear, bridging the gap between biomechanics research and practical athletic training. His work has been widely cited for its innovative application of textile electronics to solve complex motion-capture challenges, influencing subsequent developments in smart footwear and wearable performance monitoring. By demonstrating that everyday athletic gear can become a sophisticated data-collection platform, Zwick has opened new avenues for injury prevention, skill development, and personalized coaching in soccer and beyond.
